SONG OF THE DAY: Menomena — “TAOS”

TAOS is from Menomena’s most recent release, Mines (2010, Barsuk Records). They hail from Portland, OR and their namesake is a combination of the words men and phenomena (not this, which is awesome and what I thought they were named after for a while). They are in the final stages of recording their new album and with any luck they’ll be out in Colorado sometime in the not-so-distant future. If you liked their sound, be sure to check out their Blogotheque take-away show, which has amazing dancing and clapping children who happened to walk by as they were playing.
